Chapter 16 "Facing the Crisis"

Cheng Yi and I went straight to the sailboat square, because we had no other place to go.

Crossing the alley and coming to the street, the perspective opened up.

This is Sailboat Square, I've been here several times in the past few days.

Here is a maiden, the maiden named Trace, my heart is inside her, her bell is inside me.

"Mengru, this is the sailboat square, what are you doing?"

"I'll call her for a moment."

I turned to the Final Dream ship and shouted toward it.

"Trace, come out!"

Just like before, I took the initiative to call out to her, and Signs wouldn't respond.

As I turned my back, I distinctly heard a crisp ringing sound.

The sound was not only coming from inside me, but it was also directly above me.

I didn't have to look to know that she was coming.

"Mengru, you didn't have to hear the bell, there's someone here!"

It seemed that Trace intended to see Cheng Yi.

I slowly turned around and turned my back to Cheng Yi and said.

"That's what I brought you here for."

Then I looked up towards the Final Dream ship.

Signs, still standing there barefoot.

The young girl's long russet hair was still flowing in the wind, her green pupils were still so beautiful, and her white dress rippled.

"Thank you, Signs."

I looked at Signs who appeared in front of me and said so.

"Mengru? Who are you talking to."

Cheng Yi, who was on the side, questioned.

"Look, the young girl on the airship."

I held up my hand in the direction of the trace.

Cheng Yi also looked in the direction of my finger.

"There's nothing there. ..."

How is that possible, didn't she hear the bell?

"Fine, Mengru, you lied to me."

Cheng Yi is obviously angry, she thought I lied to her, but in my eyes the trace is standing where, why Cheng Yi can not see?

I can't understand it!

In terms of universal objective reason, if I can see, Cheng Yi can also see, there are only two possibilities here.

One is that my physiological structure is different from Cheng Yi's in addition to reproductive organs.

The second is that she is lying to me.

These two possibilities, I feel that the latter is more likely.

"I'm sure that I'm not lying to you, on the other hand, are you lying to me?"

"Annoying, what am I lying to you for?"

"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

"I'm not lying to you, I can't see is I can't see, so are you lying to me?"

"All I can say is that it wouldn't do me any good to lie to you."

At that moment, Trace floated down from the Final Dream ship and hugged me at the front.

She said to me close to my ear.

"It can't be helped, she can't see me."

I said to Trace.

"You all you can let me see you, why not Cheng Yi."

Trace said shaking his head helplessly.

"I'm sorry."

Compared to last time, Signs' actions and words were more human-like.

"You've changed a lot compared to before."

"What change?"

"How can I put it, more like a human."

Cheng Yi on the side looked at me, I must have been talking to myself in her eyes.

"That must be the reason why my bell is inside you."

Maybe what I did in my daily life made Trace understand a bit about humans.

I just hope she doesn't want to learn to be bad, like being like Rangray, that would be hard to do.

"Let's not talk about that, Signs, do you have a way to prove the problem with my heart?"

Signs looked down and thought about it, then looked at me.

"Yes."

She then moved her finger, and a white light flooded out from my chest.

"Mengru, your chest?"

It seems that this thing Cheng Yi can see.

"Just look at it quietly."

The white light on my chest came out of me, and then the white light slowly faded to an almost transparent ball, which contained the bell.

It was the bell of the trace.

"How about this, now you know my secret."

Cheng Yi looked at that ball of mine in surprise, and I was sure she could indeed see it.

"So, that's what you're carrying inside your body?"

I nodded, and then said to the trace.

"That'll do."

Trace wiggled his finger again and the almost transparent ball returned to my body.

"So, where's the one you were talking about?"

"Right next to me, but you can't see her."

Of the two possibilities before, I could only choose the former; Cheng Yi could see the bell, but not Cheng Yi, and neither Cheng Yi nor I were lying.

So, my body's physiology is different from Cheng Yi's.

That's all I could think.

"Is there anything else?"

Signs said to me.

"Nothing else, please."

This time with only a blink of my eye, Trace disappeared.

"Come on, Cheng Yi, let's go home."

I lifted my feet and walked forward, ready to go home, while Cheng Yi pulled me back.

"It's not a small thing, what do you really know?"

I turned my head and smiled at Cheng Yi.

"Sorry, I don't know as much as you do either."

"Oh."

Cheng Yi lost his hand for a moment.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"It can't be helped, come on, let's go home."

I lifted my feet and walked forward, while this time Cheng Yi ran in front of me and stopped me.

"Is it really okay for you to tell me something so important?"

"You ... This ..."

I had obviously accidentally seen Cheng Yi's privacy, and she now turned to worry about me.

"I was going to share the secret, so I'll help you keep it a secret, and you'll help me keep it a secret too, won't you?"

Cheng Yi stared into my eyes, as if she was trying to find some loophole in my eyes.

But unfortunately, I was telling the truth.

Telling one lie will likely require a hundred lies to fill, which is a very troublesome thing.

Moreover, so far, I have nothing to hide from Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi stared into my eyes, apparently not seeing a hint of wavering, so he gave up and sighed.

"That's it then."

"Wait!"

At this moment, behind Cheng Yi there was a pair of eyes that were glowing red.

That is, the eyes of a wolf.

I pounced on Cheng Yi with a fierce lunge, and pounced Cheng Yi down.

"Ahhh!"

"Huh ah ah ah!"

Cheng Yi let out a scream because I pounced on her, and I let out a scream because I was bitten by the wolf on the side of my stomach.

The wolf, instead of biting and not letting go, loosened its mouth and kept a certain distance from me.

I felt the pain in my side abdomen, but I still slowly stood up.

"I really didn't think there would be wild animals that attack people here."

I blocked in front of Cheng Yi, probably a man who wanted to play hero for once at this time.

The wolf was hungry, I could tell, but it ate one of me to get full, and letting Cheng Yi escape was the best policy.

Although I don't want to die either.

"Come on!"

I shouted at the wolf in front of me.

"Cheng Yi, run away!"

"I... I don't dare!"

I didn't have any spare energy to see what Cheng Yi really looked like, because the moment my gaze slackened, the wolf would be waiting for an opportunity to move.

Both sides were looking for each other's weaknesses.

The wolf in front of me was different from the pictures on TV or in encyclopedias in the past, this wolf's fur was no different from other wolves, but its eyes were red.

Its paws were very sharp, for without taking a step, scratches would appear under its feet, not scratches from rubbing against the rocks, but the marks of a knife splitting the rocks.

It stared at me, and I stared at it angrily.

At that moment, a famous quote came to my mind.

"What difficulties we encounter, and do not be afraid, smile and face him, the best way to eliminate fear is to face fear, persevere, is the victory, go, Ollie give!"

That's right, I'm facing my suffering head-on right now.

No, to be exact, facing the crisis head on.
